A man who somehow got his hands on his boss’ Maserati may have driven himself out of a job after the allegedly drunken 21-year-old managed to get the sports car wedged in a Muni maintenance pit in San Francisco early on the morning of May 20, authorities said.

San Francisco police responded to reports of a car stuck at the Potrero Division maintenance yard at Bryant and Mariposa streets around 3:44 a.m.

Officers arriving at the scene found the luxury car wedged above the pit typically used to service Muni buses. According to a Muni bulletin, the driver sped into the lot and came to an abrupt halt when the car got jammed.

Police identified the driver as 21-year-old Dennis John Hanrahan of Dallas, who subsequently failed a sobriety test and was booked on suspicion of driving under the influence, said Officer Albie Esparza, a police spokesman. The Maserati was impounded.

Hanrahan’s case hasn’t yet been presented to the District Attorney for a charging decision.
